shall return to our Lord.

punishment?

things of life) for a few years more,

Ayat 206 - And then what they were promised comes
upon them,

Ayat 207 - Of what avail shall their enjoyment be to
them?

Ayat 208 - Never have We destroyed a habitation till
We had sent admonishers to them

Ayat 209 - To warn. For We are never unjust.

Ayat 223 - Who listens to you (for spreading
rumours); but most of them are liars.

follow them.

Ayat 225 - Have you not seen that they wander
distract in every valley,

Ayat 226 - And they say what they do not do,

Ayat 227 - Except those who believe and do the right,
and remember God a great deal, who retaliate only when they have been wronged. Yet the oppressors will now come to know through
what reversals they will be overthrown!
